Intuitive Surgical Inc is a pioneer in the field of robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgery. With its flagship product, the da Vinci Surgical System, the company has revolutionized complex surgeries by making them less invasive, which often leads to quicker patient recovery times. Beyond surgery, its Ion endoluminal system offers minimally invasive diagnostic procedures, particularly for lung biopsies. Intuitive Surgical not only manufactures and markets these innovative systems but also supports their integration into healthcare settings with comprehensive training, maintenance, and digital solutions. Founded in 1995, the company is based in Sunnyvale, California, and operates globally.
